Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

have you learned about if yet?

[drowsy belfry]

yes one second sir ill post

[junior aurora]

it could also be done without if, but you wouldn't do first, last = name.split()

instead just do full_name = name.split()

and then when displaying their name to them, you can use full_name[0]

i used if here

but not sure how to use if in the name setting

Have a read of what I just wrote above

[drowsy belfry]

okay

word

let me try that thank you

[junior aurora]

it's generally not a good idea to use multiple assignment when you can't guarantee the length of the data

[drowsy belfry]

okay good to now

appreciate the help

in this specific case, where your actions are the same, but the context changes (like calling print each time, but with a different string).

you could make use of a dictionary. mapping each number to a sentence.
